First Time RVer. Help a brother out!
Good morning to all. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I am about 3 months from hitting the road to California from Texas. I recently bought a 2014 RAM 2500 Big Horn to pull an RV, or Camper...

Hello Yudarvish11 and welcome to the forum. It sounds like you have a decent tow vehicle, but you will want to find out a few more specifications before choosing a trailer.
First realize that the max tow capacity is only one of the numbers you have to be concerned with. The marketing departments scream it in their ads so it's what we see, but there are other considerations.
To make a good informed decision you probably also need a few more items that are on the drivers door jamb.
GCWR (probably white sticker)
RAWR (probably white sticker)
FAWR (probably white sticker)
Payload capacity. (yellow sticker)
The weight of you, and any other passengers minus 150 lbs.
Post those numbers here and we can help you figure out what you can pull. Here's a link to a running tow capacity thread about 1/2 ton trucks. Yes you have a 3/4 ton, but the way you need to consider the numbers is the same.
